Kulezi zinsuku, iMithetho Eyishumi, uNkulunkulu awunika uMose, ngokuvamile zibhekwa njengobubi nomthwalo osindayo. AmaKristu amaningi abheka iMithetho Eyishumi kaNkulunkulu njengomthetho nobugqila. Futhi njengoba amaKristu ekhululiwe eMthethweni futhi aphila ngaphansi komusa, amaKristu amaningi awafuni ukuba nento yokwenza neMithetho Eyishumi neminye (-lungele) imiyalo kaNkulunkulu futhi baye bayilahla. Kodwa kungani amaKristu, abazelwe nguNkulunkulu ngokuzalwa kutsha kuKristu, baphikisane neMithetho Eyishumi? Yini embi kangaka ngemithetho eyishumi kaNkulunkulu?
Kungani uNkulunkulu anika uMose iMithetho Eyishumi
Ukuze uthole, kungani iMithetho Eyishumi mibi kangaka, kufanele siye emsuka weMithetho Eyishumi kaNkulunkulu.
Ngemva kokuba uNkulunkulu ekhulule abantu bakhe ebugqilini futhi ebakhipha eGibhithe, UNkulunkulu wenza Isivumelwano nabantu Bakhe. Abantu bangena esivumelwaneni, ngokuvuma ukuthi bazolizwa izwi leNkosi.
UNkulunkulu wabhala iMithetho Eyishumi izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe. Wanika uMose izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe ezineMiyalo Eyishumi. Abantu bakwa-Israyeli kwakufanele bagcine iMithetho Eyishumi kaNkulunkulu.
IMithetho Eyishumi yayiyingxenye yoMthetho KaMose. Zazihloselwe (inyama ye) indoda ewile, obanjwe enyameni enesono, nomoya wakhe ungaphansi kwegunya lokufa.
Imithetho Eyishumi yavela kuMoya kaNkulunkulu, kusukela emvelweni Yakhe, futhi imele intando yaKhe ngayo (ethaka)indoda.
Kwakuyizwi likaNkulunkulu elilotshiwe, lokho kwakusho ukuthi kube ngumhlahlandlela wabantu baKhe. Kwakuhloselwe ukuzihlukanisa nezizwe zamaqaba, ukuhamba ngokulunga futhi baphile ngcwele njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu emhlabeni. Ngokulalela izwi likaNkulunkulu, abazange nje bamelele uNkulunkulu wabo. Kodwa futhi bahlonipha futhi baphakamisa iNkosi yabo uNkulunkulu, uSomandla, uMdali wezulu nomhlaba nakho konke okungaphakathi.
IMithetho Eyishumi yayingemibi, kodwa kuhle. Njengoba uNkulunkulu emuhle, futhi Ufunela abantwana Bakhe okuhle kakhulu.
UNkulunkulu uyayazi imithetho kamoya. Ngoba uNkulunkulu wazidala futhi wazimisa.
Ebuhleni Bakhe, UNkulunkulu wanika abantwana Bakhe iMithetho Eyishumi. IMithetho Eyishumi yayiyobagcina ebubini futhi inhlekelele, futhi aveze ukuphila, futhi ubaholele ezweni lesethembiso nasekuphileni okuphakade.
Inkinga, owavimbela abantu ukuba balalele iMithetho Eyishumi
Kodwa kwakunenkinga eyodwa, eyavimba abantu ukuba balalele iMithetho Eyishumi kaNkulunkulu. Leyo kwakuyinyama enesono yabantu bakaNkulunkulu.
Inyama yomuntu enesono yayingafuni ukuthobela uNkulunkulu nokulalela izwi Lakhe. Kodwa inyama enesono yahlubuka kuNkulunkulu, IZwi laKhe, noMoya waKhe.
Leyo yimvelo yomuntu owile, ophila ngaphansi kwegunya likasathane, isono, lokufa ebumnyameni.
Umuntu owile wayengafuni ukuzithoba kuNkulunkulu ongabonakali.
Indoda ewile yayingafuni ukuzehlukanisa nabeZizwe namasiko abo (Umhlaba). Kodwa umuntu owile wayefuna ukuphila njengabeZizwe futhi bakhonze onkulunkulu babo.
Konje, umuntu owile akafuni ukuzithoba kunoma yiliphi igunya. Ukuthi nguNkulunkulu, abazali, othisha, abaqashi, noma abaholi, umuntu owile ufuna ukuba unkulunkulu wempilo yakhe futhi azenzele izinqumo ahambe ngendlela yakhe.
Indoda ewile iyaziqhenya, khwelezayo, ukuqamba amanga, olukhohlisayo, engathembekile, engcolile, -bi, ophingayo, umephuli wesivumelwano, futhi uyantshontsha, uyazonda, kanye nokubulala.
Leyo kwakuyimvelo yomuntu owile futhi namanje, onesimo sikayise, i onakele.
Abantu babenenkululeko yokuzikhethela yokunquma ukulalela noma ukungayilaleli iMithetho Eyishumi
UNkulunkulu wembula isimo Sakhe nentando Yakhe kumuntu owile, ophuphuthekiswe ingqondo yakhe yenyama ngumbusi waleli zwe futhi ehlala ebumnyameni.
UNkulunkulu wazembula ngezwi Lakhe futhi wanika abantu ukukhetha. Abantu babengakholwa uNkulunkulu futhi balalele amazwi Akhe futhi bagcine imiyalelo Yakhe futhi baphile entandweni Yakhe, okwaholela ekuvikelweni, ukuchuma, nokuphila. Noma abantu abakwazanga ukumkholwa uNkulunkulu futhi bangawalaleli amazwi Akhe, futhi balahle imiyalo yaKhe, futhi siphile ngaphandle kwentando Yakhe emva kwentando yenyama, izinkanuko, kanye nezifiso, okwaholela ebubini nasekufeni.
Abantu babenokuzikhethela. Babengeke bazuze okuthile noma bajeziswe ngokuthile bengazi.
Iyini iMithetho Eyishumi kaNkulunkulu?
Imithetho Eyishumi, uNkulunkulu awunika uMose eNtabeni yaseSinayi:
- Ungabi nabanye onkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.
- Ungazenzeli izithombe ezibaziweyo, lanoma yimuphi umfanekiso wanoma yini esezulwini phezulu, noma lokho okusemhlabeni phansi, kumbe lokho okusemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba: Ungakhothameli kuzo, futhi ungazikhonzi: ngokuba mina Jehova uNkulunkulu wakho nginguNkulunkulu onomhawu, ngihambela ububi bawoyise kubantwana kuze kube isizukulwane sesithathu nesesine sabangizondayo; Futhi ngibonisa umusa ezinkulungwaneni zalabo abaNgithandayo, futhi nigcine imiyalo Yami.
- Ungaliphathi ngeze iGama leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ngokuba uJehova akayikumyeka oliphatha ngeze igama lakhe.
- Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ukuyigcina ingcwele. Izinsuku eziyisithupha uyakusebenza, wenze wonke umsebenzi wakho: Kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa luyisabatha leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho: ningenzi msebenzi ngalo, wena, lendodana yakho, nendodakazi yakho, inceku yakho, nencekukazi yakho, nezinkomo zakho, nomfokazi wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho: Ngokuba ngezinsuku eziyisithupha uJehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, ulwandle, nakho konke okukubo, waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa: ngalokho uJehova walubusisa usuku lwesabatha, futhi wayingcwelisa.
- Hlonipha uyihlo nonyoko: ukuze izinsuku zakho zibe zinde ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona.
- Ungabulali.
- Ungaphingi.
- Ungebi.
- “Ungafakazi amanga ngomakhelwane wakho.
- Ungafisi indlu yomakhelwane wakho, ungafisi umfazi womakhelwane wakho, nenceku yakhe, nencekukazi yakhe, nenkabi yakhe, noma imbongolo yakhe, nanoma yini ekamakhelwane wakho (Eksodusi 20:1-17)
Ukubonakala kukaNkulunkulu
Bonke abantu babona ukuduma, nemibani, nomsindo wecilongo, nentaba ishunqa: nalapho abantu bekubona, basusa, wema kude. Basebesithi kuMozisi, Khuluma wena nathi, futhi sizokuzwa: kodwa uNkulunkulu makangakhulumi lathi, funa sife UMose wathi kubantu, Ungesabi: ngoba uNkulunkulu uze ukulivivinya, futhi ukuze ukumesaba kube phambi kobuso benu, ukuze ningoni. Abantu bema kude, uMose wasondela ebumnyameni obukhulu lapho uNkulunkulu ekhona. (Eksodusi 20:18)
Ingabe uNkulunkulu wabesabisa abantu? Cha, UNkulunkulu wazembula Yena kanye nobukhulu Bakhe namandla Akhe amakhulu endaweni yemvelo kumuntu wemvelo, ongeyena owomoya. Ukuze, babeyomesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu, bagcine imiyalo yakhe, bangoni.
Imithetho Eyishumi yayivimbela abantu ukuba baphile ukuphila okungengcwele njengabeZizwe, ababephila ngokuhlubuka kuNkulunkulu.
Indoda ewile yayibheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengemibi
Ubungacabanga, ukuthi abantu bakaNkulunkulu babebheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengesibusiso. Ukuthi bazogcwala injabulo ngezwi uNkulunkulu uSomandla alithumele futhi wazihlanganisa Naye nabantu Bakhe. Kodwa kwakungenjalo.
Cishe isizukulwane sonke, abakhululwa emandleni kaFaro futhi baphila ngaphansi kokubusa kwakhe ebugqilini, bacabangela iMithetho Eyishumi kaNkulunkulu kanye neminye imiyalo yokuziphatha uNkulunkulu ayebanike yona, kungabi njengokuhle kepha okubi nomthwalo osindayo.
Kungani babebheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengemibi nomthwalo osindayo? Ngokuba imiyalo kaNkulunkulu yabavimba ekwenzeni intando yenyama nasekuphileni izinkanuko nezinkanuko zenyama ekukhonzeni izithombe., ukuphinga, ububi, nokungcola.
Ngokusebenzisa ukungalaleli uNkulunkulu, cishe isizukulwane sonke safela ehlane futhi asizange singene ezweni lesethembiso, ngaphandle kukaJoshuwa noKalebi.
UJoshuwa noKalebi bakholwa futhi bathembela kuNkulunkulu nobukhulu bakhe. Babemesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu, abagcina ngayo imiyalo yaKhe. Ngokulalela kwabo uNkulunkulu, bangena ezweni, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wabathembisa. Kanye nesizukulwane esisha, bangena ezweni balidla izwe.
Ingabe iMithetho Eyishumi iyasebenza eSivumelwaneni Esisha?
Ngakho siyawenza ize umthetho ngokukholwa? UNkulunkulu makakwenqabele: yebo, Sisungula umthetho (AmaRoma 3:31)
Intando kaNkulunkulu ayikashintshi futhi ngeke iguquke. UJesu wathi, ukuthi akezanga ukuchitha uMthetho, kodwa ukugcwalisa uMthetho. Njengoba imiyalo yokuziphatha yoMthetho imelela intando kaNkulunkulu, imiyalo kaNkulunkulu yokuziphatha ngeke iguquke futhi iyosebenza njalo, nasesivumelwaneni lesisha.
Umehluko kuphela esivumelwaneni esisha, ukuthi uNkulunkulu akasasebenzi nabantu benyama, abaphila esimweni sokuwa behlukaniswa noNkulunkulu futhi bevaleleke enyameni enesono futhi benesimo sikadeveli, kodwa ngokuzalwa kutsha kuKristu, UNkulunkulu usebenza nabantu bakamoya, ababuyiselwe kuKristu esikhundleni sabo futhi babuyisana noNkulunkulu futhi bakhululiwe enyameni enesono, Ngokufa kwenyama novuko lukaMoya kwabafileyo (ubhapathizo), kanye lokuhlala kukaMoya oNgcwele.
Umuntu omusha unesimo sikaNkulunkulu nangokuhlala kukaMoya oNgcwele, imiyalo nemithetho kaNkulunkulu, obusa eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu, zilotshwe engqondweni nasenhliziyweni yomuntu omusha (Jeremiya 31:33-34, amaHebheru 8:10-13; 10:16-18).
Ngokushintsha kwemvelo, umuntu uyakwazi ukugcina imiyalelo kaNkulunkulu noJesu Kristu futhi agcwalise intando kaNkulunkulu empilweni yakhe.
Indoda entsha ibheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengevamile esikhundleni sobubi kanye nomthwalo osindayo. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi imvelo yomuntu isishintshile. Umuntu akasabuswa yinyama kodwa uMoya. Umuntu akaphili ngokwenyama kodwa ngoMoya.
Intando kaNkulunkulu isiyintando yomuntu omusha
Maye kubo ababiza okubi okuhle, nobubi obuhle; ebeka ubumnyama ngokukhanya, nokukhanya kobumnyama; lokho kubeka okumunyu emnandi, futhi kumnandi kakhulu! (Isaya 5:20)
Ngokungafani nomuntu omusha, obheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengemihle, ikhehla lisathatha iMithetho Eyishumi njengemibi, ngokomthetho, nomthwalo osindayo futhi wenqaba ukuzithoba.
Futhi ngenxa yokuthi baningi abaholi abakhohlakele ebandleni, abasengamakhehla futhi abanomqondo wenyama, izimfundiso eziningi zamanga (izimfundiso zamadimoni), kwavela lokho okubonakala kungokwenkolo, kodwa eqinisweni, kuvela kuSathane. Njengoba lezi zimfundiso ziziphakamisa ngaphezu kukaNkulunkulu neZwi laKhe futhi ziyaphikisana intando kaNkulunkulu.
Lezi zimfundiso ezingamanga ziye zaqinisekisa abantu abaningi ukuthi iMiyalo Eyishumi mibi, ngokomthetho, -semuva nesikhathi, futhi akusasebenzi namuhla. (Funda futhi: Izimfundiso zamademoni zibulala isonto).
NjengaseNsimini yase-Edene, inyoka eyonakele yalinga u-Eva futhi yamkholisa, ukuthi umlayo omuhle kaNkulunkulu, Ubani owayebathanda futhi ebafunela okungcono kakhulu, kwakungekuhle kodwa kubi.
Umyalo omkhulu
Nqoba, okungumlayo omkhulu emthethweni? UJesu wathi kuye, Wothanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, langomphefumulo wakho wonke, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho. Lo ngumyalo wokuqala no omkhulu. Okwesibili kufana nakho, Uyothanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena. Kule miyalo emibili ilengisa wonke umthetho nabaprofethi (Mathewu 22:36-40)
Ngoba amaKristu amaningi awazalwa ngokusha futhi/noma awanawo ubudlelwano noJesu noYise ngoMoya oNgcwele futhi awathandazi futhi awafundi futhi alitadishe iBhayibheli uqobo., kodwa thembela emazwini abantu ‘abafundile’, bakholelwa amanga kadeveli futhi babheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengemibi, ngokomthetho, umthwalo osindayo, futhi isiphelelwe yisikhathi,
Ngokwesibonelo, bathi iMithetho Eyishumi ayisasebenzi, ngoba amaKristu kufanele agcine imiyalo emibili emikhulu kuphela, okuyizo, ‘Thanda uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho’ nokuthi ‘Thanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena’. Kulungile, kodwa uJesu washo okunye okwengeziwe.
UJesu wathi, ukuthi uMthetho nabaProfethi kwakulenga kule miyalo emibili. Ngakho-ke, iMithetho Eyishumi nayo yonke eminye (-lungele) imiyalo kaNkulunkulu kanye namazwi kaNkulunkulu, okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi, bambelela kule miyalo emibili. (Funda futhi: Ingabe uyamthanda uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo yakho yonke? Na- Uthanda nini umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda wena?)
Yini embi kangaka ngemithetho eyishumi kaNkulunkulu?
Kodwa yini embi kangaka ngemithetho eyishumi? Izikhathi eziningi, abantu bezwa okuthile kwabanye futhi bakukopishe ngokuzenzakalelayo, ngoba kuzwakala kungcwele noma kupholile, kanye nesimanje, ngaphandle kokwazi ukuthi empeleni bathini.
- Ngoba kubi kangakanani ukuthanda uNkulunkulu, ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, umphefumulo, ingqondo, namandla? Futhi nihloniphe iGama laKhe futhi nikhumbule usuku lweNkosi?
- Yini embi kangaka ngokudeda ekukhonzeni izithombe?
- Kungani kubi ukuba izingane zihloniphe abazali bazo futhi zibalalele futhi zibalalele?
- Yini embi kangaka ngokukhuluma iqiniso?
- Yini embi ngokuhlala uthembekile kumlingani wakho?
- Yini embi kangaka ngokuhlala uthembekile esivumelwaneni somshado owasenza?
- Yini embi kangaka ngokungabulali abantu, kodwa babayeke baphile?
- Okubi kakhulu ngokungantshontshi nokugcina isandla sakho ezintweni zabanye abantu?
- Kubi yini ukweneliseka ngalokho onakho esikhundleni sokuhahela izinto zomakhelwane wakho?
Ngitshele, kubi ngani ngazo zonke lezizinto?
Ubani obheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengemibi?
Zonke lezi zinto zibhekwa njengezibi kulabo, ababi futhi abangabakadeveli nomhlaba. Ngoba abamthandi uNkulunkulu, kodwa bazithanda ngaphezu kwakho konke futhi bafuna ukwenza izifiso zabo zenyama. Abafuni ukulalela nokuzithoba kuNkulunkulu, noma abazali, nanoma yiliphi elinye igunya.
Bayaziqhenya, -vukelayo, futhi unomona. Bafuna ukuqamba amanga, yenza okubi, ukukhonza abanye onkulunkulu, futhi bahileleke ezinkolweni zobuqaba nasekusebenzelaneni nemimoya. Bafuna ukuhlala (ucansi) ukungcola, futhi aphinge, gila ukuphinga, ukufisa, ukweba, inzondo, futhi ubulale. Ngoba zonke lezi zinto zikhona emvelweni yazo; isimo esidala sesono somuntu owile. (Funda futhi: Kungani uNkulunkulu esho, Ungavumi… kanye noJesu, Kufanele…?).
Ngakho-ke, lezo, abathi bayakholwa kodwa bengabesizukulwane somuntu owile, iyobheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengemibi, ngokomthetho, kanye nomthwalo osindayo.
Bayothi, ukuthi iMithetho Eyishumi kaNkulunkulu mibi, ngokomthetho, futhi isiphelelwe yisikhathi.
Ngoba ngenye indlela, abakwazi ukwenza intando, izinkanuko, nenkanuko yenyama kusaba. Abakwazi ukwenza okubi futhi bahlale (ucansi) ukungcola, ukukhonza izithombe, ukuvukela, ubutha, ukungathetheleli, ukudakwa, ukuminza, njll. kodwa kufanele balahle imisebenzi yenyama abayithanda kakhulu. Futhi abafuni ukwenza lokho. (Funda futhi: Limkhumule kanjani ikhehla?).
Kodwa labo, abathi bayakholwa futhi bengabesizukulwane somuntu omusha bayobheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengejwayelekile futhi esobala.
Bayobheka iMithetho Eyishumi njengemihle futhi bayenze ngokwemvelo, ngoba uNkulunkulu muhle futhi bazalwa Nguye futhi banesimo Sakhe, futhi baMthande ngenhliziyo yabo yonke, umphefumulo, ingqondo namandla kanye nomakhelwane wabo njengoba bezithanda bona (1 UJohane 3).
‘Yibani usawoti womhlaba’
